Don’t care for blind shots or quirky architecture? Want to see what you are doing and have good shots be consistently rewarded? This is the course for you. Water comes into play on just two holes: the par-4 3rd and the endless par-5 16th (667 yards from the tips!). Massive bunkers guard the raised greens and fairways, many of which run parallel to another. Few courses boast more big-time tournament history: the South course has played host to three PGA Championships (most recently in 1975), the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational (won eight times by Tiger between 1999 and 2013) and the current Bridgestone Senior Players Championship. The stallion winners at this frank, well presented examination speak to its high shot qualities. Max fee: $375 (Photo: Patrick Koenig)
